Now I know how Matt Granger felt when holding this thing. And I also know where my limits are in terms of handholding a mass of lens and try to aim at a focus point. The first shots are very promising, sharpness is great and AFMA was just around a tiny bit over 0 - I'd say within normal PDAF tolerances with wide open lenses.
I would be very very surprised if I buy that transportation and logistics challenge. Finding a bag already is not so easy. Comments about filter size M105 are one thing, but storing the 13 cm lens hood is another story. It's enough space to park a full frame camera in it.

The rental came with a WR protector. Which is already a bit battered. Apart form weigh and storage space - it's not very practical to make a lens change (without a little fork lifter). I need force and fine motor skills. Last time I held such a proportion was the Nikkor 200/2.0 - and that ons comes with VR...
I'm looking forward to the Nikkor which is more the size of a shorter 135/1.8.
